Taskade vs TickTick for AI agents
As of 8 Oct 2026, TickTick gets an AI agent further: L3 · Does the work against L1 · Needs a person.
- Find: Docs for agents: llms.txt, an OpenAPI and an MCP server.
- Access: Can't sign up.
- Use: Work not reached.
- Pay: Payment not reached.
- Leave: Leaving not reached.
Stopped at sign up: needs a human. Next: let an agent sign up on its own
Stopped at signup: L1 · Needs a person. Taskade's sign-up is a web form guarded by a visible Cloudflare Turnstile widget, so our agent never got an account. Everything past that stayed out of reach: personal access tokens are made only in the web UI, the documented API base is disallowed for crawling, and the hosted MCP server needs a paid workspace. The docs hold up well: llms.txt indexes the docs and every docs page ships as Markdown. Paying and cancelling were never reached since no account existed.

L3 · Does the work: our agent gets in on its own, signing up through the web form, making a personal API key in Settings, and calling the project endpoint without hitting a CAPTCHA or needing a human. No checkpoint stopped it. Through the documented REST API and the official MCP server, it created a task and read it back, reaching lists, tags, reminders, repeats, comments, Kanban, focus records and habit check-ins. Premium is a card-only Stripe Checkout page, not tried on this drive, and deleting the account needs the web app, a password and confirmation steps.

A check of our network and browser: It judged where our agent connects from and its browser, not a person. An agent that works on its own from a data center doesn't get through unless the owner lets signed agents in. How agents in a person's own browser fare isn't measured yet. Where we drive from.
